This game certainly will feature a ton of new faces. The Demons are—as their ugly affair in Minnesota will attest—atrocious. There are three aims for the Cats: Run up the score early and get the regulars out before they get hurt; see if the backups and backups-to-backups can finish NW State off; enjoy the extra week to prepare for the Jayhawks.

Just reading some articles on that Northewstern State game at MInnesota and Minn. had a pick six on the first play from scrimmage and scored 5 first quarter touchdown. Minnesota is not typically a good team. This could get really ugly. I expect backups by the 2nd half if we jump out to a lead like that.Brent Wyrick

In NSU's last 6 games versus FBS opponents, dating back to 2017, the scores were:
2017: TX Tech 45-24
2018: TX A&M 59-7
2021: N TX 44-10
2023: Lousiana 58-13
2024: Tulsa 62-28 (and the Golden Hurricane were a bad football team). Plus, last November, NSU coughed up 62 to Houston Christian, a quality FCS program.
2025: MN 66-0
I'm not a betting man, but anyone who'd touch the current 45.5-point spread—on either side—should seek help.
Game plan: Crush them early and get the backups and the backups' backups in ASAP.

The Gophers also fell on a fumble in the end zone for a second defensive score in that lopsided first quarter. The Demons are—just plain awful. Their QB has amassed 95 total yards passing over their two games. They've averaged 100.5 rushing yards, which is distorted by a 51-yard run versus Alcorn State.
